Description
Words is a handy utility for searching a dictionary and solving word
unscrambling problems.
Words v2.0 contains two utilities (findword and unscramble) and a
dictionary. The dictionary lists words, each on its own line. You
can replace this dictionary with a similar file if you so choose.
(I've been known to use the Scrabble(tm) Dictionary on occasion.)
Findword is a utility to search for a word in the dictionary.
Typing in a word will search for that word exactly in the dictionary.
Using a "*" will match any number of characters and using a "?" will
match exactly one character. For example:
tr*ing - all words that begin with "tr" and end with "ing"
?ing - all words that have 1 letter, then "ing"
sp*???ing - all words that start with "sp" have at least 3 letters,
then end in "ing"
Scram is a utility to unscramble words. Simply type the scrambled
word in the box and press "unscramble". Wildcards ("*", "?") are not
allowed in this entry.
Note: Due to a bug, you will have to use the mouse to click on the "Unscramble" button.

History
- 3/24/2000 - Version 1.0 released.
- 9/27/2001 - Version 2.0 released.
Known Bugs
- There's a user interface bug in that pressing enter closes the dialog.
I think newer versions
of the Windows Properties dialog made this work this way. Either
way, clicking on the buttons with the mouse always works.
